| May 14 2025 | The Tigers optioned Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jung went just 5-for-45 at the plate since being promoted in late April, and his playing time of late has been inconsistent. Zach McKinstry and Andy Ibanez should handle third base duties for the Tigers, at least until Matt Vierling (shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list. |
|
| May 13 2025 | Jung is starting at third base and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting three straight games, Jung got Monday off, but he'll return to the lineup a day later. The 24-year-old is starting to emerge as Detroit's top option at the hot corner, at least against righties. The eventual return of Matt Vierling (shoulder) could squeeze Jung a bit, though he should maintain a regular role for now. |

| May 12 2025 | Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Right-hander Tanner Houck is on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Jung will grab a seat after starting each of the last three games against righties. Zach McKinstry will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth for the Tigers in the series opener. |
|
| May 7 2025 | Jung isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jung will get an opportunity to regroup Wednesday after going 1-for-16 with five strikeouts over his last seven games. Zach McKinstry will shift to the hot corner to fill in for Jung, who could be on his way back to Triple-A Toledo if he doesn't rediscover his swing soon. |
|
| May 4 2025 | Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since being promoted from Triple-A Toledo on April 21, the lefty-hitting Jung had started in each of the Tigers' last 10 matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he's slashed just .107/.286/.107 overall. He'll now head to the bench Sunday against right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, and a return to Toledo could soon be in the cards for Jung if sitting against righties starts to become a trend. |
|
| May 1 2025 | Jung is not in the Tigers' lineup Thursday against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels are sending southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the mound Thursday, so the left-handed bat of Jung will begin the game on the bench. In Jung's place, Andy Ibanez has the start at third base and is batting cleanup |
